    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I appreciate Sen. (Dr.) Mbito who has raised an important issue before this House. Under Article 94 of the Constitution, we are the peoples’ representatives and we know the true position of what is happening on the ground. It is not possible for the Cabinet Secretary to achieve the so-called e-learning because the people we represent do not have phones with internet connection. Some do not even have power. If I were to be honest with him, it is like he is living on the Ozone Layer, because he does not understand the people he is presiding over as the Cabinet Secretary. The simple truth and reality is that it is not possible to conduct e-learning. Even if I offered to take him to the four constituencies in my own County of Nyamira, to take stock from the people, he will realise that the number of pupils who can afford to log into the internet and have e-learning are less than 20 per cent, leave alone the county where Sen. (Dr.) Ali comes from. That includes the county of my friend, Sen. Malalah, and all of us. So, this is just living a lie. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we need to summon the Cabinet Secretary to this House in Plenary, to tell him the truth, so that we do not speak lies to Kenyans.
